COMMENTS ON THE ALBUM
Here we have an absolute MONSTER of an album, this is the ULTRA RARE original UK FIRST PRESSING of progressive rock band The Web. What a truly amazing album this is and is now virtually impossible to find these days, especially in this condition! Super hard to find as a mono original with tan deram label
This album is in truly AMAZING condition and I shall try my best to describe the condition of the album in detail below.
THE FRONT:
The front of the cover is in truly remarkable shape and looks great, very close observation reveals a few very light patches of laminate crease.
THE BACK:
The unlamijnated back looks to be in very nice condition. Closer observation shows some light staining and very minimal storage wear (see picture number 2).
THE EDGES:
Edges have minor scuff only.
THE SPINE:
Looks nice, very minimal wear only. The writing is perfectly clear with every letter legible.
The record itself looks very clean, bright light reveals a little minor scuff but nothing to impair the overall sound quality. Below is a brief description of the vinyl.
SIDE 1:
A few very feint hairlines visible under bright light, nothing to cause any problems. Its basically really only the paperscuff variety which apart from these very minor cosmetic blemishes the vinyl looks very clean indeed and still retains its original bright shine!
SIDE 2:
As Side 1
THE LABELS:
The labels are in lovely condition with NO unwanted writing or pen marks. NO tears or scuffs or discolouring. Very close scrutiny reveals the lightest of spindlewear that shows the album has not been played much in the past. Wording is sharp and distinct on both labels.
FINAL SUMMARY
Overall, this is a superb album and a MUST for any collectors of fine progressive rock and psychedelia. Truly a great example of a very rare and collectable album. So hard to find as a UK MONO 1st press.
Grading is a very subjectional topic but I would be happy to grade the album as follows:
THE COVER:
VG+
THE VINYL:
EX
All Records are posted with vinyl outside of the cover to prevent seam splits and are packaged in plastic to prevent water damage and posted in custom record mailers with stiffeners.
